The Journey Inward

I can't right all my wrongs,
Or soothe all those I've scalded,
But I can make amends nonetheless,
By living authentically, integrated,
By showing greater patience, compassion and empathy,
I can share my thoughts and feelings,
I can look at my flaws and be open to feedback,
Listening with an open mind and heart,
And accepting another's experience of me,
I might not have seen or felt in the same way,
I can live differently,
And make amends.
